Welcome to Egremont

Egremont is a small town located in the county of Cumbria, in the north-west of England. The town is situated on the River Ehen, which flows through the town and into the Irish Sea. Egremont has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The town was an important centre for the iron and steel industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and many of the town's buildings and landmarks reflect this industrial heritage.

One of the most notable landmarks in Egremont is the ruins of Egremont Castle, which dates back to the 12th century. The castle was once a formidable fortress, but today only the ruins remain. The castle is a popular tourist attraction, and visitors can explore the ruins and learn about the castle's history. Another popular attraction in Egremont is the Florence Mine, which was once one of the largest iron mines in the country. Today, the mine is a museum and visitors can take guided tours to learn about the history of the mine and the people who worked there.

Egremont is also known for its annual Crab Fair, which takes place in September. The fair has been held in the town for over 750 years and is a celebration of the town's agricultural heritage. The fair features a range of events and activities, including a parade, a funfair, and a crab-catching competition. The fair is a popular event in the town's calendar and attracts visitors from across the region.
